quick question to all you clever ladies out there!

My friend says my godson (her son) would like a cereal bowl with his name on for Christmas, lovely idea but any ideas where I might get one? Thought it might be a nice prezzie for a number of children I know actually!

Rach are these any good?

Lil_me great news about Matthew, really pleased to hear that. Can’t you return the game?

Boddy glad you had a ncie walk, it sounds lovely there

Lav what is a pea whack? Sounds fascinating!

Serena hope your boy is ok, that sounds very dramatic. DH is watching the rugby now and some guys smacked heads and one of them was knocked out before he hit the deck! It’s a rough sport!

Triker, that poor dog, I hate it when people are mean to animals cos they don’t understand. Glad that someone was looking after him

I've got four things ending on ebay this evening and only one of them has a watcher. Hope somebody buys something!

I have had another cuppa, had a bath and finished the ironing, off to S&S (honest!!!)

ROSE - pea whack is a scouse thing - ham shank boiled, throw the water from the shank into sc with red lentils,onions, carrots and celery, then chop the ham shank up and lob in. serve with crusty bread. Perfect winter food xxxxxxxxxxxxx:D

Need to find a list ....

Poorly DS is in the bath - bedtime delegated to DH whilst I finish dinner. At the moment I feel school is unlikely tomorrow - he's white, shaky, very hot even with Medised and sounds a bit gravely. So may make some tentative plans of things to do around/with him just in case ans a small lit of any rescheduling I need to do workwise.

Ebay - photos taken, and started on turbolisting. Done about half so far - will keep at it whilst finishing the dinner off, and afterwards. Whilst researching categories was totally shocked by the price of my unwanted body lotion - totally mad price to begin with. I'd rather have had a bottle of wine which would have been a lot less money..

gravy awaits,

Thank you so much for that link Rosepink, you are a star, both my girls have unusual names, as do I, so we can never find anything with our names on it. Thanks also to Rach for putting the question out there.


I know re the dog, it was a black one too.....poor thing, I undertstand people get desperate, at least it was left in a public place and people spotted it.
